On the other hand, in a general exterior box having a peripheral wall of four sides, such as a cardboard case, the peripheral wall tip forms an opening. Further, a flap, which is a plate-like member, is extended from all or a part of the peripheral wall tip of the four sides. This flap is bent inwardly at the end of the peripheral wall to form a lid of the outer box. For this reason, the insertion device includes a plurality of plate-like bodies corresponding to the respective peripheral wall tips, and the plate-like body excludes the flap outside the plate-like body, and the main surface of the plate-like body externally covers the article. A guide member (interference prevention member) configured to guide into the opening of the box is provided. Specifically, the positional relationship between the exterior box and the interference prevention member is configured so that the opening of the exterior box and the inner surface of the flap are in contact with the interference prevention member. This facilitates the insertion of the article into the outer box so that the inserted article does not interfere with the open end or flap of the outer box (see Patent Document 1).
JP 2002-19707 A

しかしながら、従来の挿入装置では、干渉防止部材は外装箱の周壁の内面と当接するので、物品の外装箱への挿入時に、干渉防止部材が、外装箱の周壁と物品との間に挟まれ、外装箱が干渉防止部材に拘束され、載置部材が離隔しても、外装箱は離隔されないという事態が発生することがあった。特に、挿入される物品又は物品群と外装箱との隙間(クリアランス)が小さく、かつ、物品がカートン、プラスチックケース等の剛性が高い物品である場合にはこのような事態が顕著に発生した。   However, in the conventional insertion device, the interference prevention member abuts against the inner surface of the outer wall of the outer box, so that when the article is inserted into the outer box, the interference prevention member is sandwiched between the outer wall of the outer box and the article, Even when the outer box is restrained by the interference preventing member and the placing member is separated, the outer box may not be separated. In particular, such a situation has occurred remarkably when the gap (clearance) between the inserted article or group of articles and the outer box is small and the article is a highly rigid article such as a carton or a plastic case.

本発明は、上記のような課題を解決するためになされたもので、干渉防止部材を有する挿入装置及びその挿入装置の挿入方法並びにその挿入装置を用いた自動箱詰め装置において、物品挿入後の外装箱と干渉防止部材とを円滑に離隔することができる挿入装置及び挿入方法並びに自動箱詰め装置を提供することを目的としている。   The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problems. An insertion device having an interference prevention member, an insertion method of the insertion device, and an automatic boxing device using the insertion device, an exterior after insertion of an article. It is an object of the present invention to provide an insertion device, an insertion method, and an automatic boxing device that can smoothly separate the box and the interference prevention member.

上記課題を解決するために、本発明に係る挿入装置及び挿入装置の挿入方法は、開口部を形成する周壁先端にフラップが延設された開口状態の外装箱が、前記開口部を所定の方向に向けて載置される載置部材と、前記所定の方向において前記外装箱の開口部と対応するようにして物品又は物品群が配置される所定の領域の少なくとも一部を区画するように配置されている物品配置部材と、前記所定の領域において前記物品又は物品群を前記所定の方向とは垂直の方向から挟圧して保持する挟圧手段と、前記所定の領域と前記載置部材との間において前記所定の方向に延在する板状体で構成され、前記載置部材に載置されている前記外装箱の開口部の前方空間から前記フラップを排除するように配置されている干渉防止部材と、前記所定の方向において前記載置部材に対し離隔した載置位置と接近した挿入位置とに前記干渉防止部材が位置するよう前記干渉防止部材と前記載置部材とを相対的に接近及び離隔させる移動手段と、前記挟圧された物品又は物品群に接触する押出開始位置から前記挿入位置の前記載置部材に載置された前記外装箱内に前記物品又は物品群がほぼ着底する挿入完了位置まで該物品又は物品群を押し出して進出しかつ退却するよう押出部材を進退させる挿入手段とを備え、前記外装箱が載置された前記載置部材が前記移動手段によって前記挿入位置に位置させられ、かつ前記干渉防止部材の主面の少なくとも一部が前記外装箱の周壁内面に当接して位置させられ、その後、前記押出部材が押出開始位置から挿入完了位置まで前記物品又は物品群を押し出して進出させられ、その後、前記載置部材が前記干渉防止部材と少なくとも所定の間隔まで相対的に離隔させられるまで、前記押出部材は、前記載置部材との間隔を前記挿入完了位置時と略同間隔に維持しながら進出させられ、その後、前記載置部材は前記移動手段によって前記載置位置に位置させられ、前記押出部材は前記押出開始位置以遠に退却させられる(請求項1、7)。かかる構成とすると、外装箱が干渉防止部材によって拘束されても、外装箱と干渉防止部材との拘束状態が解消するまで押出部材が外装箱内の物品を介して外装箱を押圧するので、物品挿入後の外装箱外装箱と干渉防止部材とを円滑に離隔することが可能となる。   In order to solve the above-described problems, an insertion device and an insertion method of the insertion device according to the present invention include: an outer packaging box in an open state in which a flap is extended to a distal end of a peripheral wall that forms an opening. And a placement member placed toward the door, and arranged so as to define at least a part of a predetermined region in which the article or group of articles is arranged so as to correspond to the opening of the outer packaging box in the predetermined direction The article placement member, a clamping means for clamping and holding the article or group of articles in a direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction in the predetermined area, and the predetermined area and the mounting member Interference prevention composed of a plate-like body extending in the predetermined direction in between and arranged so as to exclude the flap from the front space of the opening of the exterior box placed on the mounting member Member and said predetermined direction Moving means for relatively approaching and separating the interference prevention member and the placement member so that the interference prevention member is positioned at a placement position separated from the placement member and an insertion position approached. From the extrusion start position in contact with the clamped article or group of articles to the insertion completion position where the article or group of articles almost bottoms in the outer box placed on the mounting member described above at the insertion position Or an insertion means for advancing and retreating the pushing member so as to push out the article group to advance and retreat, the above-mentioned placing member on which the outer packaging box is placed is positioned at the insertion position by the moving means, and At least a part of the main surface of the interference preventing member is positioned in contact with the inner surface of the outer peripheral wall of the outer box, and then the pushing member pushes out the article or group of articles from the pushing start position to the insertion completion position. Until the placement member is separated from the interference prevention member by at least a predetermined distance, the push-out member is spaced from the placement member at approximately the same distance as the insertion completion position. Then, the mounting member is moved to the mounting position by the moving means, and the pushing member is retreated beyond the pushing start position (Claims 1 and 7). With this configuration, even if the outer box is restrained by the interference preventing member, the extruded member presses the outer box through the article in the outer box until the restrained state between the outer box and the interference preventing member is eliminated. It becomes possible to smoothly separate the outer packaging box after insertion and the interference prevention member.

また、本発明に係る挿入装置及び挿入装置の挿入方法において、前記物品配置部材は、縁部が当接及び離間してシャッタを構成する一対の可動板を有して構成され、前記可動板は前記物品又は物品群の押出方向側において前記押出部材の押出方向と垂直な面内を進退するように配置され、前記干渉部材は、前記一対の可動板の、それぞれの前記縁部から前記所定の方向に延在する一対の板状体である(請求項6、12)。かかる構成とすると、可動板が所定の開放位置まで離隔することによって、干渉防止部材が外装箱の周壁内面と当接して配置されるので、干渉防止部材が外装箱の位置ずれを修正することができる。
Further, in the insertion device and the insertion method of the insertion device according to the present invention, the predetermined interval is such that the placement member is separated from the interference prevention member until the front end of the interference prevention member is separated from the flap front end of the outer box. (Claims 5 and 11). With such a configuration, the extruding member presses the exterior box through the article in the exterior box until the exterior box and the interference prevention member are completely separated from each other, so that the exterior box and the interference prevention member after the article is inserted smoothly It becomes possible to separate.
Further, in the insertion device and the insertion method of the insertion device according to the present invention, the article arrangement member is configured to have a pair of movable plates that constitute a shutter with an edge contacting and separating, and the movable plate is The interference member is disposed so as to advance and retreat in a plane perpendicular to the extrusion direction of the extrusion member on the extrusion direction side of the article or group of articles, and the interference member is formed from the respective edge portions of the pair of movable plates. A pair of plate-like bodies extending in the direction (claims 6 and 12). With such a configuration, the interference preventing member is disposed in contact with the inner surface of the outer peripheral wall of the outer box by separating the movable plate to the predetermined open position, so that the interference preventing member can correct the positional deviation of the outer box. it can.

以下、本発明を実施するための最良の形態について図面を参照しながら説明する。   The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(実施の形態1)
図1は、本発明の本発明の実施の形態1に係る挿入装置及び外装箱並びに干渉防止部材と外装箱との配設関係を概略的に示す斜視図である。
(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a perspective view schematically showing an arrangement relationship between an insertion device, an exterior box, and an interference preventing member and an exterior box according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

図1において、挿入装置9は、位置決めプレート17と、押さえプレート18と、一対の挟圧プレート8と、一対の可動板13、13と、可動板13,13に延設された板状体の干渉防止部材13a,13aと、押出部材14と、載置部材15とを有している。   In FIG. 1, the insertion device 9 includes a positioning plate 17, a pressing plate 18, a pair of clamping plates 8, a pair of movable plates 13 and 13, and a plate-like body extending on the movable plates 13 and 13. The interference prevention members 13a and 13a, the pushing member 14, and the mounting member 15 are provided.

ここで、外装箱Cは、底壁と四辺の側壁(周壁)Bで構成される本体と、側壁Bの先端に形成されたフラップFa、Fa、Fb,Fbとで形成されている。   Here, the exterior box C is formed of a main body constituted by a bottom wall and four side walls (peripheral walls) B, and flaps Fa, Fa, Fb, and Fb formed at the front ends of the side walls B.

一対の可動板13、13は、押出部材14と載置部材15との間において載置部材15の進退方向に垂直な面内において進退するように配設されている。一対の可動板13、13は、物品配置領域Sの底部において可動板13、13の縁部同士が当接及び離間することによって、シャッタを構成している。一対の可動板13,13の進退は、アクチュエータ等の公知の駆動機構をサーボモータ等の公知の駆動装置によって駆動させることによって行われる(図9参照。開閉駆動装置13b)。そして、当接時には、物品配置領域Sの底部を画する。そして、一対の可動板13、13の離間時には、物品配置領域Sの底部が開放され、物品群Wa(図1では図示を省略)が押出部材14によって物品配置領域Sから押し出されるように構成されている。   The pair of movable plates 13 and 13 are disposed between the pushing member 14 and the mounting member 15 so as to advance and retreat in a plane perpendicular to the advancing and retreating direction of the mounting member 15. The pair of movable plates 13 and 13 constitutes a shutter when the edges of the movable plates 13 and 13 come into contact with and separate from each other at the bottom of the article placement region S. The pair of movable plates 13 and 13 are moved forward and backward by driving a known drive mechanism such as an actuator by a known drive device such as a servo motor (see FIG. 9, opening / closing drive device 13b). At the time of contact, the bottom of the article placement area S is defined. When the pair of movable plates 13 and 13 are separated from each other, the bottom portion of the article placement area S is opened, and the article group Wa (not shown in FIG. 1) is pushed out of the article placement area S by the pushing member 14. ing.

ここで、物品配置領域Sは、一対の可動板13,13と押出部材14との間に物品W単体、あるいは物品Wを並置して物品群Waを形成することができるように形成されている。ここでは、物品群Waが並置されるように形成されている。具体的には、物品配置領域Sは、物品配置部材19、すなわち、一対の可動板13,13、一対の挟圧プレート8、8、位置決めプレート17、及び押さえプレート18によって区画されている直方体状の空間である。   Here, the article arrangement region S is formed so that the article group Wa can be formed by arranging the article W alone or the article W in parallel between the pair of movable plates 13 and 13 and the extrusion member 14. . Here, the article group Wa is formed so as to be juxtaposed. Specifically, the article placement region S is a rectangular parallelepiped shape defined by the article placement member 19, that is, the pair of movable plates 13 and 13, the pair of clamping plates 8 and 8, the positioning plate 17, and the pressing plate 18. Space.

また、一対の板状体からなる干渉防止部材13a,13aは、一対の可動板13,13の下方において、縁部を垂直下方に向けて配置されている。そして、干渉防止部材13a,13aの先端縁部は、平面視において、挿入位置N(図2参照)において載置部材15に載置されている外装箱Cの側壁Bの先端縁部の開口部側に位置するように配置されている。これによって、干渉防止部材13aの主面がフラップFbの内面と対向するように位置することになるので、外装箱Cの開口部の前方空間からフラップFbを排除することができる。したがって、干渉防止部材13a,13aは、物品群WaとフラップFb及び側壁Bの先端縁部との接触を防止することができる。ここでは、一対の可動板13,13の互いに当接する縁部は進退方向に対して垂直の方向に延びて形成され、その縁部から干渉防止部材13a,13aが垂直下方に向けて延設されている。そして、一対の可動板13,13の開放時に、干渉防止部材13a,13aの先端縁部は、平面視において、外装箱Cの側壁Bの先端縁部の開口部側に位置するようになる。   Further, the interference preventing members 13a and 13a made of a pair of plate-like bodies are arranged below the pair of movable plates 13 and 13 with their edges directed vertically downward. And the front-end | tip edge part of the interference prevention members 13a and 13a is an opening part of the front-end | tip edge part of the side wall B of the exterior box C mounted in the mounting member 15 in insertion position N (refer FIG. 2) in planar view. It is arranged to be located on the side. As a result, the main surface of the interference preventing member 13a is positioned so as to face the inner surface of the flap Fb, so that the flap Fb can be eliminated from the front space of the opening of the exterior box C. Therefore, the interference preventing members 13a and 13a can prevent contact between the article group Wa, the flap Fb, and the front edge of the side wall B. Here, the edges of the pair of movable plates 13 and 13 that are in contact with each other are formed so as to extend in a direction perpendicular to the advancing and retreating direction, and the interference preventing members 13a and 13a extend vertically downward from the edges. ing. Then, when the pair of movable plates 13 and 13 are opened, the leading edge portions of the interference preventing members 13a and 13a are positioned on the opening side of the leading edge portion of the side wall B of the exterior box C in plan view.

また、側面視において、干渉防止部材13a、13aの先端縁部が外装箱Cの開口部内にまで届いて位置する場合、干渉防止部材13a、13aの主面の少なくとも一部は外装箱Cの側壁Bの内面に当接するようにして位置することになるので、外装箱Cの位置ずれを修正することができる。   Further, when the front end edges of the interference prevention members 13a and 13a reach the opening of the outer box C in a side view, at least a part of the main surfaces of the interference prevention members 13a and 13a is a side wall of the outer box C. Since it is positioned so as to contact the inner surface of B, it is possible to correct the displacement of the outer box C.

干渉防止部材13aは、平板を屈曲成形して可動板13と一体構造とされている。あるいは、可動板13とは別個に製作された干渉防止部材13aをボルトナット等によって装着するようにして構成されている。後者の場合、外装箱Cの開口部の大きさや背丈によって、適切な形状の干渉防止部材13aに付け替えることができるので、挿入装置9の汎用性が向上する。   The interference preventing member 13a is formed integrally with the movable plate 13 by bending a flat plate. Alternatively, the interference preventing member 13a manufactured separately from the movable plate 13 is mounted with bolts and nuts or the like. In the latter case, the interference prevention member 13a having an appropriate shape can be changed depending on the size and height of the opening of the outer box C, so that the versatility of the insertion device 9 is improved.

押出部材14は、物品配置領域Sに配置されている物品群Waを載置部材15に載置された外装箱C内へ押し出すように構成されている。したがって、押出部材14の物品群Waとの接触部は、押出時において物品群Waの頭部を一定方向に押し出すことができるような形状に加工されている。ここでは、押出部材14は矩形の板で構成され、その下面が平面状に形成されている。また、押出部材14は、載置部材15に対して進退可能なように進退駆動装置14bによって支持されている。ここでは、進退駆動装置14bは、押出部材14は背後、すなわち、ここでは上方から軸体で支持され、その軸体をアクチュエータ、サーボモータ等の駆動装置によって昇降可能なように構成されている。押出部材14及び進退駆動装置14bによって押出手段が構成されている。   The pushing member 14 is configured to push the article group Wa arranged in the article arrangement area S into the outer box C placed on the placing member 15. Therefore, the contact portion of the extrusion member 14 with the article group Wa is processed into a shape that can push the head of the article group Wa in a certain direction during extrusion. Here, the pushing member 14 is formed of a rectangular plate, and the lower surface thereof is formed in a flat shape. Further, the pushing member 14 is supported by an advancing / retreating drive device 14b so as to be able to advance and retreat with respect to the mounting member 15. Here, the advancing / retreating drive device 14b is configured such that the push-out member 14 is supported by a shaft from behind, that is, from above here, and the shaft can be moved up and down by a drive device such as an actuator or a servo motor. Extruding means is constituted by the extruding member 14 and the advance / retreat driving device 14b.

一対の挟圧プレート8、8は、物品配置領域Sの物品群Waを挟むように相互に対向して配設されている。一対の挟圧プレート8は、進退動作することによって、物品群Waの側面を挟圧して、物品群Waを挟圧及び保持するように構成されている。ここでは、一対の挟圧プレート8、8は退避方向から軸体で支持されていて、その軸体をアクチュエータ、サーボモータ等の駆動装置(図示せず)によって、進退可能なように構成されている。   The pair of pinching plates 8 and 8 are disposed to face each other so as to sandwich the article group Wa in the article arrangement region S. The pair of clamping plates 8 are configured to clamp and hold the article group Wa by advancing and retracting to clamp the side surface of the article group Wa. Here, the pair of clamping plates 8 and 8 are supported by a shaft body from the retracting direction, and the shaft body is configured to be advanced and retracted by a drive device (not shown) such as an actuator or a servo motor. Yes.

位置決めプレート17は、物品配置領域Sの、一対の挟圧プレート8、8の進退方向に平行な側面を画するように配設されている。   The positioning plate 17 is disposed so as to define a side surface of the article arrangement region S parallel to the advancing / retreating direction of the pair of pressing plates 8 and 8.

押さえプレート18は、物品配置領域Sの物品群Waを間にして、位置決めプレート17とは反対側から物品群Waの側面を支持するように配設されている。押さえプレート18は、物品配置領域Sの側面に接する位置に進出しかつそこから退避することが可能なように構成されている。これによって、押さえプレート18を退避させておいて、物品群Waを物品配置領域Sに配置することができる。ここでは、押さえプレート18はその上端を通る水平な軸の周りに揺動して、退避可能なように構成されている。   The holding plate 18 is disposed so as to support the side surface of the article group Wa from the side opposite to the positioning plate 17 with the article group Wa in the article arrangement region S in between. The holding plate 18 is configured to advance to a position in contact with the side surface of the article placement region S and to be retracted therefrom. Thus, the article group Wa can be arranged in the article arrangement region S while the presser plate 18 is retracted. Here, the pressing plate 18 is configured to swing around a horizontal axis passing through the upper end thereof and to be retractable.

載置部材15は、一対の可動板13,13の押出部材14とは反対側、すなわち、ここでは下方に配設されている。載置部材15は外装箱Cを載置できる広さの盤等の台座で構成され、押出部材14に対して進退する進退駆動装置15b(移動手段)によって支持されている。ここでは、進退駆動装置15bは、載置部材15の下方に配設された軸体をアクチュエータ、サーボモータ等によって昇降可能なように構成されている。これによって、外装箱Cと一対の可動板13,13との間を接近及び離隔することが可能となるので、外装箱Cの配置作業を容易とすることができる。   The mounting member 15 is disposed on the opposite side of the pair of movable plates 13 and 13 from the pushing member 14, that is, below here. The mounting member 15 is configured by a pedestal such as a board having a size capable of mounting the outer box C, and is supported by an advancing / retracting drive device 15b (moving means) that moves forward and backward with respect to the pushing member 14. Here, the advancing / retreating drive device 15b is configured such that a shaft disposed below the mounting member 15 can be moved up and down by an actuator, a servo motor, or the like. Accordingly, since the outer box C and the pair of movable plates 13 and 13 can be approached and separated from each other, the arrangement work of the outer box C can be facilitated.

また、載置部材15には、外装箱Cの固定具15aを設けてもよい。これによって、物品群Waの挿入時における外装箱Cの位置ズレを防止することができる。固定具15aは、クランプや吸引具などの一般的な器具が用いられる。ここでは、固定具15aとして一対のL型部材が設けられ、それによって一対の外装箱Cが軽く挟圧され、外装箱Cが所定の位置に固定されるように構成されている。   Further, the mounting member 15 may be provided with a fixture 15a of the outer box C. As a result, it is possible to prevent the displacement of the outer packaging box C when the article group Wa is inserted. As the fixing tool 15a, a general instrument such as a clamp or a suction tool is used. Here, a pair of L-shaped members are provided as the fixtures 15a, whereby the pair of exterior boxes C are lightly clamped so that the exterior box C is fixed at a predetermined position.

次に、このように構成された本実施の形態の挿入装置9の概略の動作について説明する。   Next, the general operation of the insertion device 9 of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described.

なお、以下の説明において、押出部材14及び載置部材15の位置は干渉防止部材13a,13aを基準にした上下方向の位置を言う。   In the following description, the positions of the pushing member 14 and the mounting member 15 are vertical positions with reference to the interference preventing members 13a and 13a.

図2は、図1の挿入装置が外装箱が載置され載置部材を挿入位置に配置した時の挿入装置の正面図である。説明の都合上、正面方向手前側の押さえプレート18及びフラップFaは省略している。   FIG. 2 is a front view of the insertion device when the outer packaging box is placed on the insertion device of FIG. 1 and the placement member is placed at the insertion position. For convenience of explanation, the pressing plate 18 and the flap Fa on the front side in the front direction are omitted.

まず、載置位置Mに位置する載置部材15に外装箱Cを載置する。外装箱Cはその開口部を上方に向け、かつ一対のフラップFb,Fbが一対の干渉防止部材13a,13aと対向するようにして載置される。そして、進退駆動装置15bによって載置部材15を挿入位置Nまで上昇させる。挿入位置Nは、押出部材14の押出方向において、干渉防止部材13a,13aを挟んで押出部材14とは反対の位置であって、押出部材14によって押し出される物品群Waが外装箱C内に挿入される位置に設定されている。   First, the outer box C is placed on the placement member 15 located at the placement position M. The outer box C is placed with its opening facing upward and the pair of flaps Fb, Fb facing the pair of interference preventing members 13a, 13a. Then, the mounting member 15 is raised to the insertion position N by the advance / retreat driving device 15b. The insertion position N is a position opposite to the extrusion member 14 across the interference prevention members 13a and 13a in the extrusion direction of the extrusion member 14, and the article group Wa pushed out by the extrusion member 14 is inserted into the outer box C. Is set to a position.

一対の可動板13,13の縁部が当接されていて、物品配置領域Sに物品群Waが配置される。物品群Waは、外装箱Cに挿入できる大きさ以下に物品Wが整列されて形成される。   The edges of the pair of movable plates 13 and 13 are in contact with each other, and the article group Wa is arranged in the article arrangement area S. The article group Wa is formed by aligning the articles W to a size that can be inserted into the outer box C or less.

なお、外装箱Cの配置と物品Wの配置とは独立の動作であり、時系列上の順序は特に制約はない。   Note that the arrangement of the outer box C and the arrangement of the articles W are independent operations, and the order in time series is not particularly limited.

そして、押出部材14が後退位置Gから下降して押出開始位置Hに位置し、かつ物品群Waが一対の挟圧プレート8、8によって挟圧される。ここで、押出開始位置Hは物品配置領域Sに載置された物品群Waに押出部材14が接触する位置に設定されている。また、押出部材14は、押出開始位置Hにて一端停止する。あるいは、停止することなく、連続的に物品群Waの押し出しを開始することもできる。   Then, the pushing member 14 descends from the retreat position G and is located at the pushing start position H, and the article group Wa is pinched by the pair of pinching plates 8 and 8. Here, the extrusion start position H is set to a position where the extrusion member 14 contacts the article group Wa placed in the article arrangement region S. Further, the pushing member 14 stops once at the pushing start position H. Alternatively, extrusion of the article group Wa can be started continuously without stopping.

図3は、図1の挿入装置が一対の可動板を開放した時の挿入装置の正面図である。   FIG. 3 is a front view of the insertion device when the insertion device of FIG. 1 opens a pair of movable plates.

物品群Waが一対の挟圧プレート8、8によって挟圧、保持された後、一対の可動板13、13が離間される。そして、干渉防止部材13aの主面の少なくとも一部が外装箱Cの側壁Bに当接するようにして配置される。これによって、載置部材15上に載置された外装箱CのフラップFb,Fbが外装箱Cの開口部上方空間から排除され、かつ載置部材15上に載置された外装箱Cの位置ズレが修正される。   After the article group Wa is clamped and held by the pair of clamping plates 8 and 8, the pair of movable plates 13 and 13 are separated. And it arrange | positions so that at least one part of the main surface of the interference prevention member 13a may contact | abut to the side wall B of the exterior box C. FIG. Accordingly, the flaps Fb and Fb of the outer box C placed on the placement member 15 are excluded from the space above the opening of the outer box C, and the position of the outer box C placed on the placement member 15 is determined. Misalignment is corrected.

そして、押出部材14は、押出開始位置Hから、物品群Waを押し出しながら、さらに挿入位置Nまで下降する。   The pushing member 14 further descends from the pushing start position H to the inserting position N while extruding the article group Wa.

図4は、図1の挿入装置が物品群を外装箱に押し出した時の挿入装置の正面図である。押出部材14は挿入完了位置Lまで下降する。挿入完了位置Lは、物品群Waが外装箱C内にほぼ着底する時の押出部材14の位置に設定されている。ここで、干渉防止部材13aは、物品群Waと側壁Bとの間に位置して、両者に挟まれる。   FIG. 4 is a front view of the insertion device when the insertion device of FIG. 1 pushes the group of articles into the outer box. The pushing member 14 is lowered to the insertion completion position L. The insertion completion position L is set to the position of the pushing member 14 when the article group Wa is almost settled in the outer box C. Here, the interference preventing member 13a is located between the article group Wa and the side wall B and is sandwiched between the both.

なお、押出部材14が物品群Waを押し出す時には、挟圧プレート8の挟圧力が、物品群Waと押出部材14との間で若干の摩擦力が発生する程度に調整されている。これにより、物品群Waが挟圧プレート8,8間を離脱する。そして、物品群Waが離脱した後に挟圧プレート8,8は物品配置領域Sから離れるように退却する。   When the pushing member 14 pushes out the article group Wa, the clamping pressure of the clamping plate 8 is adjusted so that a slight frictional force is generated between the article group Wa and the pushing member 14. As a result, the article group Wa separates between the pinching plates 8 and 8. Then, after the article group Wa is detached, the clamping plates 8 and 8 retreat so as to be separated from the article arrangement region S.

そして、載置部材15が、物品群Waが挿入された外装箱Cを載置して挿入位置Nから外装箱解放位置NNまで下降する。   Then, the placement member 15 places the outer box C in which the article group Wa is inserted, and descends from the insertion position N to the outer box release position NN.

図5は、図1の挿入装置が外装箱解放位置にまで載置部材を干渉防止部材と離隔した時の挿入装置の正面図である。ここで、押出部材14は、載置部材15の下降に追随するようにして、載置部材15との距離をほぼ一定に保ちながら、押出部材退却開始位置LLまで下降する。すなわち、押出部材14が押出部材退却開始位置LLまで下降した時の載置部材15の位置が、外装箱解放位置NNである。   FIG. 5 is a front view of the insertion device when the placement device is separated from the interference prevention member until the insertion device of FIG. 1 reaches the outer box release position. Here, the pushing member 14 moves down to the pushing member retreat start position LL while keeping the distance from the placing member 15 substantially constant so as to follow the lowering of the placing member 15. That is, the position of the mounting member 15 when the pushing member 14 is lowered to the pushing member retreat start position LL is the outer box release position NN.

ここで、押出部材退却開始位置LLは、干渉防止部材13aが、外装箱Cの拘束を解放する位置であり、具体的には以下のように設定されている。   Here, the pushing-out member retreat start position LL is a position where the interference preventing member 13a releases the restraint of the outer box C, and is specifically set as follows.

押出部材退却開始位置LLを外装箱Cに挿入された物品群Waが干渉防止部材13aの先端と離隔するまで載置部材15が干渉防止部材13aと離隔した位置に設定されている。この位置において、干渉防止部材13aは、側壁Bと物品群Waとの間の挟隙から抜け出すので、物品群Waが干渉防止部材13aを拘束するおそれが小さくなるからである。   The placing member 15 is set at a position where the pushing member retreat start position LL is separated from the interference preventing member 13a until the article group Wa inserted into the outer box C is separated from the tip of the interference preventing member 13a. This is because, at this position, the interference prevention member 13a comes out of the gap between the side wall B and the article group Wa, so that the possibility that the article group Wa restrains the interference prevention member 13a is reduced.

あるいは、押出部材退却開始位置LLを外装箱Cの側壁B先端が干渉防止部材13aの先端と離隔するまで載置部材15が干渉防止部材13aと離隔した位置に設定されている。これによって、干渉防止部材13aと側壁Bとの当接が解消するので、干渉防止部材13aが外装箱Cを拘束するおそれがさらに小さくなる。例えば、側壁Bの背丈が物品群Waの背丈よりも長い場合であって、干渉防止部材13aと側壁Bとの間の摩擦力により、外装箱Cが干渉防止部材13aに拘束されることがある。このような場合において特に有効である。   Alternatively, the pushing member retreat start position LL is set at a position where the mounting member 15 is separated from the interference preventing member 13a until the tip of the side wall B of the outer box C is separated from the tip of the interference preventing member 13a. Accordingly, the contact between the interference preventing member 13a and the side wall B is eliminated, so that the possibility that the interference preventing member 13a restrains the outer box C is further reduced. For example, when the height of the side wall B is longer than the height of the article group Wa, the outer box C may be restrained by the interference prevention member 13a due to the frictional force between the interference prevention member 13a and the side wall B. . This is particularly effective in such a case.

あるいは、押出部材退却開始位置LLを外装箱CのフラップFb、Faの先端が干渉防止部材13aの先端と離隔するまで載置部材15が干渉防止部材13aと離隔した位置に設定されている。これによって、干渉防止部材13aは外装箱Cと完全に離れるので、干渉防止部材13aが外装箱Cを拘束することはなくなる。例えば、段ボール箱のように、フラップFa,Fbが比較的肉厚であり、干渉防止部材13aとフラップFa,Fbとの間の摩擦力により、外装箱Cが干渉防止部材13aに拘束されることがある。このような場合において特に有効である。   Alternatively, the pushing member retreat start position LL is set at a position where the mounting member 15 is separated from the interference preventing member 13a until the front ends of the flaps Fb and Fa of the outer box C are separated from the front end of the interference preventing member 13a. As a result, the interference preventing member 13a is completely separated from the outer box C, so that the interference preventing member 13a does not restrain the outer box C. For example, like the cardboard box, the flaps Fa and Fb are relatively thick, and the outer box C is restrained by the interference prevention member 13a by the frictional force between the interference prevention member 13a and the flaps Fa and Fb. There is. This is particularly effective in such a case.

図6は、図1の挿入装置が載置位置にまで載置部材を干渉防止部材と離隔した時の挿入装置の正面図である。押出部材14は、押出部材退却開始位置LLから後退位置Gまで上昇し、載置部材15は、継続して、あるいは外装箱解放位置NNにおいて一旦停止した後載置位置Mまで下降する。   FIG. 6 is a front view of the insertion device when the insertion device of FIG. 1 is separated from the interference prevention member to the placement position. The push-out member 14 rises from the push-out member retreat start position LL to the retreat position G, and the placement member 15 continues or is temporarily stopped at the outer box release position NN and then lowered to the placement position M.

そして、一対の可動板13,13が進出してその縁部同士が当接する。   And a pair of movable plates 13 and 13 advance, and the edge parts contact | abut.

図7は、図1の挿入装置が一対の可動板を閉止した時の挿入装置の正面図である。一対の可動板13,13の閉止のタイミングは、押出部材14が一対の可動板13,13より上方に上昇した後である。   FIG. 7 is a front view of the insertion device when the insertion device of FIG. 1 closes the pair of movable plates. The closing timing of the pair of movable plates 13 and 13 is after the push-out member 14 rises above the pair of movable plates 13 and 13.

そして、載置位置Mにおいて、外装箱Cを載置部材15から搬出し、新たに空の外装箱Cを載置部材15に載置する。物品配置領域Sには新たに物品群Waを配置する。そして、再び挿入動作を繰り返す。   Then, at the placement position M, the exterior box C is carried out of the placement member 15, and a new empty exterior box C is placed on the placement member 15. A new article group Wa is arranged in the article arrangement area S. Then, the insertion operation is repeated again.

なお、ここでは、干渉防止部材13a,13aは可動板13、13と一体にして構成されているが、可動板13,13とは別個の部材としてもよい。この場合、干渉防止部材13a,13aは、可動板13の直下にアクチュエータ等の公知の進退駆動手段によって水平方向に進退するように配置される。また、可動板13の駆動手段は、ターレット等の一般的な進退手段を用いることができるようになる。   Here, the interference prevention members 13a and 13a are configured integrally with the movable plates 13 and 13, but may be separate members from the movable plates 13 and 13. In this case, the interference preventing members 13a and 13a are arranged so as to advance and retract in the horizontal direction directly below the movable plate 13 by a known advance / retreat driving means such as an actuator. Further, the driving means for the movable plate 13 can use general advance / retreat means such as a turret.

また、ここでは、載置部材15によって外装箱Cが移動するように構成されているが、干渉防止部材22が載置部材15に接近及び離隔するように構成してもよい。このように構成しても、物品群Wa挿入後も押出部材14と載置部材15との間隔を維持したまま、干渉防止部材22が載置部材15と離隔するようにすることによって、外装箱Cと干渉防止部材22との拘束関係を解消することができる。   Here, the outer packaging box C is configured to move by the mounting member 15, but the interference prevention member 22 may be configured to approach and separate from the mounting member 15. Even if it comprises in this way, after the article group Wa is inserted, the interference prevention member 22 is separated from the mounting member 15 while maintaining the distance between the extruding member 14 and the mounting member 15. The restraint relationship between C and the interference preventing member 22 can be eliminated.

8A and 8B are diagrams showing the configuration of the main part of the automatic boxing device according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention, where FIG. 8A is a front view and FIG. 8B is a plan view. FIG. 9 is a front view schematically showing the overall configuration of the automatic boxing device according to the present embodiment.

図8において、自動箱詰め装置は、導入コンベア3(物品供給装置)と、整列コンベア6(物品整列装置)と、移設プレート7(物品群移設装置)と、実施の形態1の挿入装置9と、外装箱搬入コンベア4(外装箱供給装置)と、外装箱搬出コンベア5(外装箱搬出装置)と、制御装置30とを有している。   In FIG. 8, the automatic boxing device includes an introduction conveyor 3 (article supply device), an alignment conveyor 6 (article alignment device), a transfer plate 7 (article group transfer device), and the insertion device 9 according to the first embodiment. An outer box carrying-in conveyor 4 (outer box feeding device), an outer box carrying-out conveyor 5 (outer box carrying-out device), and a control device 30 are provided.

導入コンベア3は、物品Wを整列コンベア6に供給するように配設される。例えば、ベルトコンベアやローラコンベアが用いられている。また、その排出端3aは、無端軌道16の受入位置R(第1の位置)に対向して配設されている。   The introduction conveyor 3 is arranged to supply the articles W to the alignment conveyor 6. For example, a belt conveyor or a roller conveyor is used. Further, the discharge end 3 a is disposed to face the receiving position R (first position) of the endless track 16.

整列コンベア6は、導入コンベア3から供給される複数の物品Wを受け入れて整列させるように構成されている。具体的には、複数のベルト群を有する無端軌道16と、無端軌道16の搬送面に取り付けられた複数枚のフィン10とを有している。   The alignment conveyor 6 is configured to receive and align a plurality of articles W supplied from the introduction conveyor 3. Specifically, it has an endless track 16 having a plurality of belt groups and a plurality of fins 10 attached to the transport surface of the endless track 16.

複数枚のフィン10は、搬送方向に所定の間隔で、すなわち所定のギャップ部11をおいて、相互に平行に取り付けられ、フィン群10aを形成している。フィン10は、図8(b)に示すように、物品Wを受け入れることができる広さを有している。ギャップ部11は、物品Wに応じて、1つの物品Wが収容されうる間隔に調整されている。また、フィン群10aを形成するフィン10の枚数は、物品Wが外装箱Cの容量分となるよう調整されている。すなわち、全てのギャップ部11に物品Wが収容され、無端軌道16上にてフィン群10aによって整列されることによって、物品群Waが構成されることになる。   The plurality of fins 10 are attached in parallel with each other at a predetermined interval in the transport direction, that is, with a predetermined gap portion 11 to form a fin group 10a. As shown in FIG. 8B, the fin 10 has a width that can receive the article W. The gap portion 11 is adjusted to an interval at which one article W can be accommodated according to the article W. In addition, the number of fins 10 forming the fin group 10 a is adjusted so that the article W has the capacity of the outer box C. In other words, the articles W are accommodated in all the gap portions 11 and are arranged on the endless track 16 by the fin groups 10a, whereby the articles group Wa is configured.

無端軌道16は、水平方向であって、かつ、往路面が、挿入装置9の物品配置領域Sと水平方向に隣接するようにして配設されている。また、無端軌道16は、物品配置領域Sと隣接する移設位置T(第2の位置)において、フィン10が直立するように構成されている。さらに、複数のベルト群を異なる駆動装置(図示せず)によって互いに独立して循環駆動させると、複数のフィン群10aを構成することができ、物品群Waの搬送容量を増大させることができる。ここでは、図8(b)に示すように、無端軌道16は、それぞれ2つのベルトからなる第一のベルト群16a及び第二のベルト群16bを有している。第一のベルト群16a及び第二のベルト群16bに取り付けられたフィン10は、それぞれフィン群10aを構成している。これによって、第一のベルト群16aのフィン群10aが停止して、物品Wを挿入装置9へ移設している時にも、第二のベルト群16bは独立して循環駆動されて、受入位置Rにおいて物品Wを受け入れることができる。   The endless track 16 is disposed in the horizontal direction so that the forward path surface is adjacent to the article placement region S of the insertion device 9 in the horizontal direction. The endless track 16 is configured such that the fin 10 stands upright at the transfer position T (second position) adjacent to the article placement region S. Further, when the plurality of belt groups are circulated and driven independently from each other by different driving devices (not shown), the plurality of fin groups 10a can be formed, and the conveyance capacity of the article group Wa can be increased. Here, as shown in FIG. 8B, the endless track 16 has a first belt group 16a and a second belt group 16b each composed of two belts. The fins 10 attached to the first belt group 16a and the second belt group 16b constitute a fin group 10a. As a result, even when the fin group 10a of the first belt group 16a is stopped and the article W is transferred to the insertion device 9, the second belt group 16b is independently circulated and driven to receive position R. The article W can be received.

移設プレート7は、移設位置Tにおいて、フィン群10aの全ギャップ部の物品Wを一斉に物品配置領域Sへと移設することができるように構成されている。ここでは、無端軌道16の移設位置Tを間にして物品配置領域Sとは反対の側に、無端軌道16と並行するようにして、配設されている。また、物品配置領域Sに向けて、無端軌道6の往路面上を横切るようにして、進退可能なように構成されている。移設プレート7には、フィン10が通過しうるスリット12が形成されている。   The transfer plate 7 is configured so that the articles W in all the gap portions of the fin group 10a can be transferred to the article placement region S at the transfer position T at the same time. Here, the endless track 16 is disposed on the opposite side of the article placement region S with the transfer position T in between so as to be parallel to the endless track 16. Further, it is configured to be able to advance and retreat toward the article placement region S so as to cross the forward surface of the endless track 6. The transfer plate 7 is formed with slits 12 through which the fins 10 can pass.

挿入装置9は、実施の形態1に記載のとおりである。挿入装置9は、位置決めプレート17が、移設プレート7に対向するように配設される。ここでは、移設プレート7の進退動作によって、物品群Waの一方の側面が押し出されるようにして、水平移動される物品群Waを、その他方の側面を受け止めるように配設されている。そして、図8(b)に示すように、押さえプレート18が、移設プレート7と物品配置領域Sとの間に配設されている。   The insertion device 9 is as described in the first embodiment. The insertion device 9 is disposed so that the positioning plate 17 faces the transfer plate 7. Here, one side surface of the article group Wa is pushed out by the forward and backward movement of the transfer plate 7, and the horizontally moved article group Wa is arranged to receive the other side face. And as shown in FIG.8 (b), the pressing plate 18 is arrange | positioned between the transfer plate 7 and the goods arrangement | positioning area | region S. As shown in FIG.

外装箱搬入コンベア4は、載置位置Mの載置部材15上に外装箱Cを搬入するように配設される。例えば、ベルトコンベアやローラコンベアが用いられている。   The outer box carrying-in conveyor 4 is arranged so as to carry the outer box C onto the placement member 15 at the placement position M. For example, a belt conveyor or a roller conveyor is used.

外装箱搬出コンベア5は、外装箱Cを載置部材15上から搬出するように構成されている。例えば、ベルトコンベアやローラコンベアが用いられている。   The outer box carry-out conveyor 5 is configured to carry the outer box C out of the mounting member 15. For example, a belt conveyor or a roller conveyor is used.

制御装置30は、挿入装置9の動作を制御する。ここでは、図9に示すように、挟圧プレート8の進退駆動装置8b、可動板13の開閉駆動装置13b、押出プレート14の進退駆動装置14b、及び載置部材15の進退駆動装置15bを制御する。これら駆動装置には、位置制御を容易に行うことができる駆動装置、例えば、サーボモータを用いている。   The control device 30 controls the operation of the insertion device 9. Here, as shown in FIG. 9, the advancing / retreating drive device 8b for the clamping plate 8, the opening / closing drive device 13b for the movable plate 13, the advancing / retreating drive device 14b for the pushing plate 14, and the advancing / retreating drive device 15b for the mounting member 15 are controlled. To do. For these driving devices, a driving device capable of easily performing position control, for example, a servo motor is used.

また、導入コンベア3、整列コンベア6、移設プレート7、外装箱搬入コンベア4及び外装箱搬出コンベア5は、それぞれの公知の駆動装置を用いて、駆動される。そして、それら駆動装置を制御装置30が制御する。これによって、挿入装置9の動作に連動して、導入コンベア3、整列コンベア6、移設プレート7、外装箱搬入コンベア4及び外装箱搬出コンベア5を制御することが可能となる。   In addition, the introduction conveyor 3, the alignment conveyor 6, the transfer plate 7, the outer box carry-in conveyor 4 and the outer box carry-out conveyor 5 are driven using respective known drive devices. The control device 30 controls these driving devices. Thus, in conjunction with the operation of the insertion device 9, it is possible to control the introduction conveyor 3, the alignment conveyor 6, the transfer plate 7, the outer box carry-in conveyor 4 and the outer box carry-out conveyor 5.

次に、このように構成された自動箱詰め装置の動作について説明する。   Next, the operation of the automatic boxing apparatus configured as described above will be described.

図8(a),(b)において、物品Wは、導入コンベア3より、整列コンベア6に供給される。これによって、物品Wはギャップ部11に順次投入されるので、物品群Waを形成するように整列させることができる。   8A and 8B, the articles W are supplied from the introduction conveyor 3 to the alignment conveyor 6. As a result, the articles W are sequentially put into the gap portion 11, and can be aligned so as to form the article group Wa.

物品Wは、導入コンベア3の排出端3aから順次落下し、整列コンベア6は一ギャップずつ移動しつつ各ギャップ部11に物品Wを受け入れる。無端軌道16は、その下側の復路から上側の往路へ至るスプロケット6aの部分では、無端軌道16が円弧状になり、ギャップ部11は放射状に広がる。このため、整列コンベア6のこの部分が導入コンベア3から物品Wを受け入れる受入位置Rとなる。   The articles W sequentially fall from the discharge end 3a of the introduction conveyor 3, and the alignment conveyor 6 receives the articles W in each gap portion 11 while moving by one gap. In the endless track 16, the endless track 16 has an arcuate shape in the portion of the sprocket 6 a that extends from the lower return path to the upper outbound path, and the gap portion 11 extends radially. For this reason, this part of the alignment conveyor 6 becomes the receiving position R for receiving the articles W from the introduction conveyor 3.

全てのギャップ部11に物品Wが入ると、整列コンベア6は一気に移設位置Tまで移動する。   When the articles W enter all the gap portions 11, the alignment conveyor 6 moves to the transfer position T at a stretch.

移設位置Tでは、移設プレート7が整列コンベア6を横切るように水平に移動してギャップ部11から移設位置Tに位置する全物品W(すなわち物品群Wa)を移設する。物品Wは整列状態のまま移設プレート7によって物品配置領域Sへ移設される。移設プレート7によって側面を押し出されてきた物品Wが、移設プレート7と対向するようにして配設される位置決めプレート17に受け止められることによって、物品群Waを物品配置領域Sに載置する。押さえプレート18は、物品群Wa移設時の間は揺動退避して、物品配置領域Sへの物品群Waの移設を可能ならしめ、物品群Wa移設後は、物品群Waの側面を軽く押圧して、物品群Waの崩れを修正、防止する。   At the transfer position T, the transfer plate 7 moves horizontally so as to cross the alignment conveyor 6, and all articles W (that is, the article group Wa) positioned at the transfer position T are transferred from the gap portion 11. The article W is transferred to the article placement region S by the transfer plate 7 in an aligned state. The article W that has been pushed out from the side surface by the transfer plate 7 is received by the positioning plate 17 that is arranged so as to face the transfer plate 7, whereby the article group Wa is placed in the article placement region S. The holding plate 18 swings and retreats during the transfer of the article group Wa to enable the transfer of the article group Wa to the article placement area S. After the transfer of the article group Wa, the side surface of the article group Wa is lightly pressed. The collapse of the article group Wa is corrected and prevented.

外装箱Cは、外装箱搬入コンベア4より、載置部材15に供給される。   The outer box C is supplied from the outer box carrying-in conveyor 4 to the mounting member 15.

挿入装置9は、実施の形態1において述べたような動作により、物品群Waを外装箱Cに挿入する。   The insertion device 9 inserts the article group Wa into the outer box C by the operation described in the first embodiment.

物品群Waを収容した外装箱Cは、載置位置Mにおいて外装箱搬出コンベア5より搬出される。   The outer box C containing the article group Wa is carried out from the outer box carrying-out conveyor 5 at the placement position M.

本発明は、物品挿入後の外装箱と干渉防止部材とを円滑に離隔することができる挿入装置及び挿入方法並びに自動箱詰装置として有用である。   INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention is useful as an insertion device, an insertion method, and an automatic boxing device that can smoothly separate the outer packaging box and the interference prevention member after the article is inserted.
